Heist Night

The Harvard Film Archive's annual all-night movie marathon celebrates the heist film with an international line-up of suspenseful classics of the genre, ranging from Jean-Pierre Melville’s sang froid robbery adventure, Le cercle rouge to Jules Dassin’s caper romp Topkapi. Including hard-boiled gems from Phil Karlson, John Woo and Sydney Lumet, as well as Mario Monicelli’s beloved comedy, Big Deal on Madonna Street, Heist Night travels around the world in six exciting variations of unlikely crime and likely punishment, following a daring trail of safe-crackers, jewel thieves and bank robbers from Kansas City to Hong Kong.
